No time, so very quick...Been to see some lovely kitchens today, got up on the roof today - think three normal storeys - great fun!
NSD if you don't count using diesel.

DH has been sent to post 0-3s and DD clothes to cath and 3-6s to smlsave. smlsave there is a random single wrapped nappy in there, it was in my bounty pack, but Mr 13lb 8 oz is tooo big for it! You have both helped with my declutter.

Great looking at the roof yesterday, and the views from up there are amazing.

Going to try to reclaim the house today, it is looonnnggg neglected.

Thanks Grateful. Do you have a 3 storey house? Is the roof work finished now then?

gratefulforhelp_2

nope, 2 storeys but really really tall!

Do you mean I have to go up again when it's finished???

DH has only had one disaster this morning, DD2 slipped on the exact same over polished floor I slipped on last week. She had trainers on.

Scarily, I am now on SMP ONLY!!!!

Been to Church, and for lunch at the rectory. Lovely. Nearly got killed on the way home by a lunatic Mr A driver, not so nice.

The last of our fish has shuffled off this mortal coil and so I get to get the fish tank out of the house - yay!

Spent a tenner today on paint samples (kitchen) and dye (baby's room curtains, pink to navy - watch this space!).

Tomorrow we get woodburner fitted in dining room, wahey.

Naming school uniform? Is that getting prepared WAY in advance? Surely this is left to the last week of hols like us normal people?

I keep umming and arring (my fave saying at mo) about painting my kitchen. It has wood cladding on some of the walls and I want to either paint it white or cream but it will be an awkward job to do.

I want to convince my hubby to pull his finger out so we can move! Slightly off topic I realise, but you lot talking about the work on your houses isn't helping. LOL. How rude and inconsiderate you all are!
